Sorry to hear about your Grandmother Sugarspun.

Well done to winners on the Grnad National, my OH had the winner in the works thingy what ever they call it and thinks he will get about £30. Bettter than nothing. He is off this week as its my birthday tomorrow and he always tries to take the week off. Not sure what we are doing yet, would like to go out round the shops somewhere where there are little shops to look in and plenty of charity shops, will have to have a look on the map and find somewhere we havent been to yet. Saying that they have forecast rain for tomorrow so might just end up going out for lunch. The evening is sorted though as there is football on the tele.

I have two more amounts to add to my total for the challenge, received £7 from Topcashback and £17 from Cashback Cascade.

Off to do my daily clicks, catch you later xx

Hello all, haven't been online much over the past few days as I am now one of the great unemployed and not sitting in front of a PC all day.

So sorry to hear about your grandmother Sugarspun, glad you got to see her, thinking of you. x

Welcome Cady. :hello:

Congratulations on your engagement Phunkles. :beer:

(((HUGS))) to anyone who needs them, I am off to make a huge VAT of meatballs, this being at home lark will wear off but for the time-being I am enjoying being a housewife. :rotfl:

Hi folks! I have just come across your thread and have read the first page (plan on trawling on through!). I would love to take part in some of the challenges and pop in for a chat now and again! Hope that's OK!

Have yourselves a great week! x

Cors it is shopgirl, the more the merrier

Sugarspun I have the feeling you'll be seeing a stray balloon on special occasions & it'll remind you she's watching over you all. Hope you & bump are ok.

have just heard that the car is going to cost much more than expected:(

just been to the hairdresser's to have a trim and come out with a short bob:eek: I just thought I am fed up of having it long and boring so decided to have a change - bit drastic!

SugarSpun

Thanks everyone.

My feet are all swollen from all the running around. I've squeezed them into flip flops but they're barely contained... all I have to do is sit down and look down and balloons are there to remind me of her. I can't see them from standing up

I've also just snapped at the vicar who's doing the funeral service. My grandmother really liked him for some reason. I find him insufferably arrogant and completely false. He came to her bedside on Saturday afternoon and didn't bother to pray with or for her - I didn't want to join in the prayer but even so, forgetting the purpose of your visit is unforgivable.

I loathe him. He called to look for my mother, and when I asked a question about whether we can bring an external choir into his church he informed me that choirs are expensive. As though that's what I asked him. Can we have one, and can we have the organist's phone number so we can put the choir in touch with the organist? That's all I wanted to know. Then I asked another question and he responded that he'd talk about that with the family. And I am......?

Repulsive man.

Sugarspun - Oh dear, in my experience talking to the 'family' will not give him the information he need to conduct the service - he needs to talk to just one of you so he doesn't get it mixed up.

When my FIL died he wanted a non religous service & as we didn't know the person who conducted it I prepared a 'briefing' for him which worked well. This was after my Uncles funeral when the vicar managed to turn the fact that my Uncle was a keen cyclist into my Uncle cycling from pub to pub!:o Made him sound like an alcoholic!

Sugarspun - I'm so sorry to hear your news. thinking of you x
